You have your email and your wikispaces account. REMEMBER the ID and password for future reference. If you use the wiki often it will become easy to do. Before we go any further, you want to go back to your paper and pencil design tools. This means, you want to do a bit of planning as far as knowing what you want your wiki to do for you.
A Short Video about Organizing Pages in a Wiki
A little planning
I suggest the following, to start. Let's say you want to use the wiki as a support to present new content of a unit or a special lesson in your SL class. Think of the following guiding and planning questions:
what will your students know to do (communicate) by the end of the new content presented in this lesson?
what will you present as newinformation?
what opportunities will you give your students to practice on their own? (self-assessment)
what opportunities will you give your students to collaborate with each other?
what opportunities (space) will you give students to showcase their work?
These simple five questions can become the basis for one way to set up your wiki page. Remember that once you get an account on wiki spaces, you can set up an infinite number of wikis. You could organize your wiki by creating then FIVE simple pages.
Naming and Creating Pages
I name my pages with a number, like 01_; 02_; 03_; etc....This really helps with sequencing the pages. But I usually have a notebook where I have envisioned and decided about my wiki set up in advance. The only way to change the sequence of pages afterwards is to actually rename them and that may get confusing. Maybe this tip works for you.
Take time to reflect and work on this organization of pages in advance.
Once the Wiki Page is Up...
